They say leadoff walks will kill you. If you were wondering what a lead off walk, hit by pitch and another base on balls will yield, Chris Ellis and the Orioles have an answer for you.
It doesn’t get any better.
Ellis sandwiched walks to Shohei Ohtani and Anthony Rendon with a HBP to Mike Trout in the bottom of the first. Jared Walsh punched a single to left field and the Angels held a two-run advantage before Ellis recorded an out.
Ellis remained wild with a walk to Taylor Ward and Brandon Hyde had seen enough.
